Sorry, got any sources to back up that claim? Smartphones are indeed complex but I highly doubt Windows phone has the same LOC as Windows 8 (despite them sharing the same core), same for iOS -> OSX
The download is certainly bigger for OSX Mavericks (5.3gb) vs iOS7 (750mb). OSX seems a lot more open in terms of understanding what's going on though.
